Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM89, LM90

Hi Team,

The customer is using LM90CIMMX/NOPB. He needs to get the Junction temperature, Tj and Junction to ambient thermal resistance, θJA to do thermal analysis.

Can you send me the information？

Thanks,

Hi Mickey,

I will put in a thermal request for you about this. Please wait a few days.

Hi Mickey,

We don't have the thermal information for the LM90 but the LM89 is in the same family, just respec'd. The theta-JA for the VSSOP package is 158C/W. The other thermal information can be found in the LM89 datasheet if needed.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for your reply. You mean The theta-JA for LM90CIMMX/NOPB can be 158C/W? Is TA for LM90 125C or 85C?

Hi Mickey,

Yes the theta-ja for the LM90CIMMX/NOPB is 158C/W typical.

I don't understand your second question completely, but I'll attempt to give you an answer:

The local temperature accuracy is specified at a maximum ambient temperature (TA) of 125C. The remote temperature accuracy is specified with LM90 TA maximum of 85C. I believe this is why the operating maximum temperature for the device is set to 85C max in the operating ratings table.

If this does not cover you question please let me know.

Take care,
